Would this be your response to God if you were in his presence after your death? Would you actually have the stones to say, "Hey God, you didn't give me enough reasons to trust and believe you. Sorry I spit in your face all these years but I'm sure you're big enough to get over it."

What's wrong with you God-believers?
Nobody HATES god. It's just that noone believes in him/it/whatever.
It looks like those who believe are afraid of something..
This religion thing is all about control anyway.
People don't like to be controlled!

you're ultimately controlled and/or influenced by something otherdimensional, whether you realize it or not. this is the point of spiritual understanding that the various ancient texts are trying to impart to people. you aren't just a 3d blob of protoplasm. you're multidimensional, and although you can't see those other dimensions, don't assume there's not something there, interfacing with you right now, directing your thoughts, guiding you in the direction of the particular paradigm you've currently signed up for. you have countless possible destination points, only 1 of which is the source.

Now here is my next point, some people Muslims when there religion is basically the same as christianity almost. an omnipotent being? that created all. now people get stark raving mad when I say Allah and their God are basically the same thing. It's not like God has some some type of specific identity. History shows that religion has been used repeatedly to control mass groups of people.
Also, why is the Bible designed so that if you find any thing wrong or suspicious, it justifies itself or covers it up with another verse.
Also, why does God examplify one of the nine deadly sins? Jealousy.
I could go on forever but right now I'm tired.
Just ask me or give me yopur proof.
let's do an experiment.
put a baby in a social vaccum. teach it nothing ever.
will it be naturally inclined to believe in god?
i do not understand how, when it obviously takes outside influence to bring god into your life, but in absence of that info, the devil doesnt bother to pop in and make you evil?
You know what in Baptist school, I was taught the names of God and was surprised to read Zecharia Stitchin's work about the Annunaki in Sumeria. And some the aliens names were names of God but I wasn't sure if this was purposey set up or something but I highly doubt that.

ya know, i read a debunking of the allah is jehovah thing. and i thought AHA! they aren't the same! so i took this to a guy i knew was a real scholar of the ancient languages of mesopotamia, just to be sure, and he proved to me (takes alot to prove things to me hehehe) they were the same. i was very surprised. so then i did some back tracking. apparently, allah had become the moon god, somewhere along the way (before muhammad) and i had to find out why. so back i went on the etymological timeline. allah was ilah, was il (or EL!!), was lil, was Enlil. If nothing else, Allah was an Elohiym (as a type of supernatural order of god), but since he was also Enlil, I realize the thing had answered itself. Somebody turned Enlil into the Moon god, and Muhammand fixed it...or so it seemed. I'm still trying to fit all these pieces together but yep, same guy!

if god talks to the baby, the baby will believe in the sound of the voice talking to it, at least, to the extent a baby can.
the introduction of civilization and with it, the trappings of religion, were a gift from Enki. wasn't that nice?
